Scrabble ME: This NEW variation from Winning Moves is what you get when you combine Scrabble with "Take it Easy" (a now out of print favorite of ours). In regular Scrabble you have your own tiles and play on a common board; this is almost the opposite. Here, you build and control your own Scrabble board & build words simultaneously; scoring is just like in standard Scrabble. After each round, players can choose a replacement letter from the bag OR from one of the 12 face-up tiles on the Prize Tile Podium. Another exciting feature is the wild tile. Each time after one is played, that player must swap boards with an opponent. We love that there's no down time waiting for your turn. For 2-4 players.

TV Lingo (New): The famous word game featured daily on the Game Channel is now packaged in a convenient travel case. The convenient zipper cases will easily store and organize all game components. Try to guess your opponent's word by the process of elimination. Case (closed) measures 5.75" x 10.25" x 2"

We've been getting calls about this fun game for several years now, so thanks to Cadaco for offering it in 2007. The case has a canvass feel and is durable compared to many other travel games on the market.

$12.90

 
You've Been Sentenced (New): Using a hand of 10 cards, each player tries to form one grammatically correct, sensible sentence with as many cards as they can, trying to score the most points per round. Note: some versions of a word are worth additional points. Includes 540 unique 5 sided cards, score pad, sand timer (used with optional rules), pencil, rules. Has already won several awards, and a big improvement over past "sentence games". Our take: The 5 sided cards allow for over 2500 useable words; others using dice or cards usually provide 45-100. Additionally, there are numerous optional rules available so the replay value is quite high. An excellent first offering from a new company. 3-10 players, ages 8+ $22.91

Snatch (New): Combine letters to build a new word or add onto an existing one. As more letter tiles are revealed, the words grow as so does the excitement. 100 plastic letter tiles packed in a 10-1/4" tall plastic tube. Game instructions included. Fun for all ages.
